As we think into the art and practice of leadership in the first half of the twenty-first century, we will need to move from the focus on the individual as leader, a pervasive pattern in leadership studies, and explore more richly what it takes, as Ron Heifetz, Otto Scharmer, and others have put it, to move large social systems in response to an emergent future.
We will need to move away from the notion of leadership study as primarily a value-neutral investigation, and claim the practice of leadership as inherently moral, cultivating a normative practice that takes into account those who suffer most.
The scope and scale of what is now asked of us will require also that we recognize the spiritual dimension of the art, a recognition that the practice of leadership in today's world necessarily brings us to the edge of what we know and don't know, even what we can and cannot imagine, requiring adaptive capacities forged in the alchemy of courage and humility in the face of radical Mystery.
And any serious consideration of the future of leadership, indeed, the future of life on the planet, must take full account of the looming fact of climate change—a low spectacle, high consequence reality. It is a profound adaptive challenge–requiring our ability to re-priortize our values and change our behavior–and illustrates the painful inadequacies of conventional leadership thinking. In 2009, world leaders agreed that if global temperatures rose above 2º Celsius, it would have a "catastrophic" impact on life as we have known it. That figure seems now increasingly unrealistic, and many suggest that we are on a trajectory to blow past that marker within the next fifteen years. Indeed, unless we change drastically, we could reach 4º within the following fifteen—leading to massive die-offs not just of human beings, but of almost half the non-human life on the planet as well. Clearly this is not just an "environmental" problem but includes issues of justice, governance, human resilience and ultimately the very survival of our species.
All this is known as a "wicked problem," a problem riddled with contradictory and paradoxical dimensions, seemingly overwhelming. Climate change is pre-eminently an "adaptive challenge," and ironically, though perhaps not surprisingly, we are attempting to address it primarily with "technical" solutions—wind and solar power, electric cars, green policies, more studies—all important—but the deeper call is for adaptive responses, the management of a very steep learning process that takes into account the moral, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of our emerging future.
It has been said that we are the first generations to know about climate disruption and the last that can do anything about it. One of the greatest challenges facing us is dealing with denial, not merely that of others but our own as well. To face the stark truth of unavoidable climate disruption is more than most of us can bear without shielding our eyes. Understandably, we turn away telling ourselves and anyone who will listen, "Oh, it won't be that bad."
And yet the more clearly we see the reality, the greater chance we have to clarify our deepest sense of purpose—sorting out together what is precious and what is peripheral, crafting the big questions, worthy aspirations, thereby tapping into our genuine hungers for an understanding of leadership that can meet the truth of this unparalleled moment in human history.
So effective leadership begins with asking, who has to learn what?—and who will have to lose what? What do we know about learning together? How do we manage loss and grief? How do we cultivate resilience? What do we know about moving the social field?
To begin to address these questions in the context of today's global commons, we must be willing to examine our own biases, assumptions, and fears; we must trade our individual, heroic models of leadership for more grounded, systemic, and emergent ways of shifting the field. And to do that will require new forms of inquiry: to recognize the role of contemplation in the cultivation of self-awareness, empathy and the formation of collective intelligence, to discern the deep patterns that undergird the creative, imaginative process within individuals and communities, to risk experimentation and to learn from failure. Ultimately, the leadership we need must empower us to move the social field from familiar dysfunctional patterns and give form to more life-enhancing patterns on behalf of the common good.

Grey Owl – The Indian Who Never Was
Grey Owl toured the world, sharing his native wisdom in
Everyone loves at least one of Steven Spielberg's movies. Most of the population has a dozen or so of his films they consider with fondness. Even when Spielberg isn't directing, his production credits span a wide array of great films. Here are 13 things about Steven Spielberg you may not have known…
1. Spielberg was turned down twice by the USC film school, so he attended California State University in Long Beach.
2. He has one of the original Rosebud sleds used in Citizen Kane in his personal collection.
3. During filming of their episode of Night Gallery in 1969, Spielberg gave Joan Crawford the gift of a single red rose in a Pepsi bottle. During an on-set conversation with Detroit Free Press reporter Shirley Eder, Crawford pointed out Spielberg and said, "Go interview that kid, because he's going to be the biggest director of all time!" Crawford and Spielberg remained good friends until her death in 1977.
4. He spent five months developing the script for Rain Man with Ronald Bass, but had to commit to his handshake deal to direct Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Spielberg gave all of his notes to Barry Levinson, who would go on to win Best Director for the film.
5. He is an Eagle Scout and was on an advisory board for the Boy Scouts of America. He left this position because he did not agree with the fact that the Boy Scouts of America discriminated against homosexuals.
6. Spielberg was upset when footage from his debut feature movie Duel was used as stock footage in an episode of The Incredible Hulk. But since Universal Studios owned the rights to both The Incredible Hulk series and the film of Duel, taking legal action was not possible. However, he subsequently updated his contracts to include a clause that would protect his future material from being used as stock footage.
7. Although close friend, George Lucas, has vowed to only shoot future movies digitally, Spielberg has been the most vocal film-maker of the opposing view: to continue shooting all of his movies on film. Other directors siding with Spielberg include Martin Scorsese and Oliver Stone.
8. When he used product placement in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, he used Reese's Pieces only because M & M's parent company didn't want their product associated with aliens and UFOs.
9. Aside from producing The Goonies, he also directed at least one scene in the movie, primarily directed by Richard Donner.
10. He was originally set to direct Cape Fear. He later recommended Martin Scorsese for the job and personally called the director, letting him know that this was a commercial film that had potential to be a hit, which would exercise more power for Scorcese to make his films.
11. Is an excellent shot with a shotgun. Actor Shia LaBeouf once said about his shooting, "He's an Olympic shot. The hand-eye co-ordination of that man is unlike anything I've ever seen. If he weren't a great director, he could be one of our greatest snipers."
12. Two of Spielberg's favorite things to do in his downtime are, allegedly, watching golf and playing Assassin's Creed.
13. Steven Spielberg was the first living person to have a playable Lego mini-figure modeled after him. It was sold with several sets as part of the Lego Studios product range in the early 2000s.

Editor's Note: This post is part of a series produced by HuffPost's Girls In STEM Mentorship Program. Join the community as we discuss issues affecting women in science, technology, engineering and math.
After watching the State of the Union Address, I applaud President Obama's call for relevant STEM-focused education. Every student deserves the opportunity to earn a high school diploma that has prepared them to succeed in jobs or college. The president's call for action aligns with the work taking place in more than 100 New Tech Network schools around the country. We share the belief that we need to redesign America's high schools. We have learned that effective education is about more than technology in classrooms. Teachers need training to engage students and cultivate a love of deeper learning in ways that connect them to their communities and empower them to become something else our president talked about -- responsible citizens.
The president asked, "How do we equip our people with the skills needed to do those jobs... in manufacturing, energy, infrastructure and housing? Let's make sure that a high school diploma puts our kids on a path to a good job."
President Obama challenged us to redesign America's high schools so they better equip graduates for the demands of a high tech economy.
The president said, "We'll reward schools that develop new partnerships with colleges and employers and create classes that focus on science, technology, engineering and math -- the skills today's employers are looking for to fill jobs right now and in the future."
Just today, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo of New York announced a new innovative partnership between a New Tech Network school, Tech Valley High School (TVHS) and the State University of New York College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering to better prepare students for the growing nanotechnology industry and build a world-class workforce in upstate New York.
Tech Valley High School, founded in 2007, was designed as a regional training center with the intent of bringing project-based, student-centered learning to the greater Albany region. The school was created, based in part on the strong concern expressed by business leaders in that region to address the lack of a skilled workforce for the dynamically growing high tech economy. This type of partnership, between educators, local businesses and the community-at-large is a critical component of the path we must take to assure our students have access to the type of high school education they need to succeed.
Employers indicate that graduates entering the workforce need the skills of Deeper Learning -- finely honed communication skills, the ability to work in teams and collaborate, the knowledge to think critically, the drive to be an innovative learner and the impetus to work with self-direction and initiative.
High school graduates also need to know how to flourish in a virtual world. When we offer students online learning experiences students become self directed learners who no longer rely exclusively on teachers or textbooks for knowledge and direction. This type of learning mimics the work and college world students will inhabit.
A hallmark of the New Tech Network learning experience focuses on technology and blended and digital learning. This emphasis was highlighted last week in a Congressional Bill introduced by U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA). The Transforming Education Through Technology Act would help speed adoption of innovative digital tools to improve student outcomes, close achievement gaps, boost educator skills and improve efficiency and productivity, according to Rep. Miller's office.
When we create relevant and rigorous learning experiences for high school students, and combine that with the technological resources, we engage students and provide motivation to achieve.
I can't imagine a better time than now to focus nationally on developing student-centered school cultures that truly prepares learners for life after high school. Let's make a high school diploma mean something and provide relevancy and rigor that mimics the real-world job for every student in every community.

Justin Timberlake is the new partner and producer of the Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival.
The music event launched in 2015, hitting the right notes with crowds who flocked to the site in Franklin, Tennessee.
The brainchild of Better Than Ezra singer Kevin Griffin, the Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival fuses music with the best in the region's food and drink, for a two-day spectacle.
The Can't Stop the Feeling! singer, who was born and bred in Memphis, Tennessee, shared his excitement in a statement.
"(This) is an amazing opportunity to help build an exceptional event and contribute to my community," he said.
Kevin echoed Justin's sentiments, adding the multi Grammy Award-winning singer is "a perfect fit" for the music event.
The 2016 festival kicks off on 24 September (16), and will see musicians and singers from all genres hitting the stage. Beck, Hall & Oates, and Kacey Musgraves will all be performing, as will Kevin with Better Than Ezra. Justin will not be performing at the event this year (16), organisers have confirmed.
Justin's latest role will have to fit in around the star's already busy workload. The 35-year-old is one of the hardest working stars in showbiz, juggling music and film work with being a dad to baby son Silas, 16 months, who he shares with wife Jessica Biel.
For his next project, DreamWorks' animated film Trolls, Justin not only voices the role of Branch, but he also worked as executive music producer too.
Sharing a snap of the Trolls soundtrack songs on Instagram on Monday (22Aug16), Justin let his fans know the music was close to completion.
"Almost ready....#DreamWorksTrolls #Soundtrack. Presale coming soon. Stay tuned....," he posted.
Trolls, which also stars Anna Kendrick, Zooey Deschanel and James Corden, hits theatres from October (16).

This is Ian. It's hard to nail what Ian does in a single job title. A coach, consultant and storyteller he works with both organisations and individuals, bringing a fresh pair of eyes and a wealth of experience to help clients develop and grow, reconnecting them with their story and purpose. He loves to get out of the office - these photographs around the streets of Soho and Fitzrovia are the backdrop to Ian's 'walk and talk' coaching sessions, where he helps people 'find their fuel…'
I first met Ian when I watched his opening key note presentation at Snap Photography Festival earlier this summer. He delivered a great talk and some of the points he made helped to shape the writing on my 'about me' page. Bring personality to my photography is really important to me, but being able to write about that, and ensure that comes across in my marketing is easier said than done. That's where Ian comes in. He wrote a really great blog on figuring out the essence of your business, which includes a link to download a super helpful PDF checklist. I highly recommend a read!

Discussion in 'NDS - Flashcarts and Accessories' started by Tanmay, Jan 29, 2009.
WHere do you get a rumble pack besides with an m3ds real cuz i have r4ds
If you are using a Flash Cart like CycloDS/R4/M3, you can purchase the EZ Flash 3-in-1. In addition to rumble, it lets you run the DS Browser and GBA ROMs. Note: The rumble will not function with retail carts.
For rumble with retail carts, you can purchase Nintendo's DS Rumble pak from many suppliers. There is even a DS Lite import version available from importers. I use the EWin DS Lite rumble pak for my retail carts. It has received impressive reviews when compared to the official rumble pak. It is rather inexpensive and available from many suppliers online.
dunno, does the r4 not have a option to patch that? the AK2 does
it should be possible to jump it through both ExpLoader and NitroHax to initialize the 3in1 as Rumble Pak and boot a game card. Maybe you can even enter action replay codes into NitroHax to do so and save the ExpLoader step.
He means with physically real DS games. The R4 or AK2 clearly cannot patch a real game card.
oh those things, didn't know anyone here actually bought them

Government Experts Develop a Portable Radiophone
ERE is the last word embodied in the portable receiving set idea. This highly efficient instrument has been developt in the radio section of the Bureau of Standards at Washington and altho the experts of this Bureau modestly referred to it as being in the experimental stage, it is probable that this type of instrument is destined to become widely used on account of its practical and portable nature.
The present
has one stage of radio amplification and two stages of audio amplification; one tube being used both as a radio and audio amplification stage.
By referring to the left hand illustration of the above photograph, which shows the internal construction of the set, may be seen the loop which is wound upon the four sides of the cover. Directly in the center of this cover is the tunmg condenser for wavelength variation. The instrument, by the way, was designed to receive waves of 500 meters. The vacuum tubes are of a special design requiring but 0.2 ampere to operate the filament. It will also be noted that both the A and B batteries are conveniently arranged within the case, they being as small and compact as possible in order to secure minimum weight for the entire unit. It will be seen that the amplifying transformers are at right angles to each other in order to eliminate all possible mutual, effects between individual circuits.
When the radio telephone station of the Bureau of Standards at Washington is in operation with an antenna current of 2 amperes while transmitting, music and speech may be readily picked up by a person situated, within the city limits by using the
The instrument itself without the horn is 12" high and 10" wide. This gives an idea of its compactness and portable nature. The horn, of course, may be strapt to the case and carried along as well. A desirable feature connected with the instrument is that it is very simple of operation and does not require an expert electrician or radio wan to set it in operation. This fact alone opens up considerable future possibilities in the commercial field. Incidentally, it would be an ideal set for the more advanced amateur to take along with him on his vacation, be it far into the mountains or at the seashore. He thus can keep in touch with the news, weather reports, radiophone conversations, radiophone music, and any other information transmitted by radio,
The approximate range of the instrument in its present development is about 20 miles, but of course this can be considerably increased by making use of a regular antenna. An instrument similar to this one has been built at the radio section of the Bureau of Standards which is sufficiently powerful as a transmitter to reproduce phonograph or other music with enough intensity so as to be heard within a room of considerable size and which, by the way, would be an excellent arrangement for dancing.
A more sensitive type of
is now under construction by the Government experts. It will contain three radio and two audio stages of amplification and will be so arranged that the horn and all other instruments are self-contained within the box. With this device music may be heard within the limits of any large city.

The schools in the town of Kloten run a virtual classroom from their desktop computers. Computer workstations for students and teachers can now not only be more efficiently managed but the latest educational applications can also be quickly deployed. For the management of the IT infrastructure, the city council's IT organisation uses the desktop virtualization solution, Citrix XenDesktop.
Children attending school today have already gained initial experience with IT: PCs and the Internet are part of the everyday lives of most families - and many children play with technology from an early age. Computer technology has now also become indispensable in the classroom: more and more teachers already use educational software as a supplement to traditional teaching right from year one.
However, the operation and administration of the required IT infrastructure is a challenge at many schools. Even in the six primary and secondary schools in the town of Kloten near Zurich, there was not an optimal solution for a long time: "The computer workstations in our schools were looked after by individual teachers - so-called computer science curators - with some external support," says Rosario Campagiorni, head of computer science for the town of Kloten. "However, the equipment was far from uniform and was not state of the art. In part, the school computers were not even internally networked correctly. Software installations and maintaining the operating systems took a lot of time and work."
To improve this situation and to provide professional technology, it was decided that the city council's IT organisation would help care for the schools' computer workstations. "A prerequisite was to initially develop a holistic approach," says the IT manager. "From our perspective, it quickly became clear that we can only manage the schools efficiently when we agree standardized structures." In several workshops with computer science curators and in collaboration with IT consultants, Steffen computer science AG, the IT organization developed a solution which the schools could implement.
The main aims were to establish a professional school network, a high-performance connection from the schools to the Internet and to the city council's data center, as well as an efficient, centralized management of all required IT resources. Through a high degree of standardization, most processes could be automated and support operations simplified.
"During the design phase, we realized that the virtualisation of user desktops could help enormously in achieving these goals," says Rosario Campagiorni. "If we do not install desktops and applications on local devices, but deploy them centrally at data center, we can reduce the administration overhead and gain additional flexibility at the same time. A virtual desktop can be used anywhere and is no longer tied to a particular terminal."
Working closely with technical specialists from Steffen computer science, the IT organization worked out a solution concept based on Citrix XenDesktop to virtualize the city's data center and operate the 600 user desktops at six schools in Klotener. The project team was consistently decoupling the individual desktop components: based on recommendations by teachers and students on which are the most important applications, Steffen computer science created a standardized operating system image.
The aim was that all virtual desktops would initially boot on the servers in the data center from one of these two standard images. Specific applications - such as learning programs for certain age groups - should then be provided with the App-V technology from Microsoft for virtual desktops. "The App-V virtualisation application will help prevent potential software conflicts, because each application runs in a protected environment on the desktop," says the IT manager. "At the same time we can very quickly add additional learning software without having to adjust the master image."
The user profiles of students and teachers are separated from the desktop image and centrally managed. For this task a Citrix XenDesktop profile manager is assigned: he ensures that all required user settings are provided when logging on to the virtual desktop and at the start of individual applications. Users find their personal desktop front at all times, while benefiting from fast logon times.
"Citrix XenDesktop makes it possible to provide individual desktop environments for schools with very low administrative overhead," Rosario Campagiorni summarizes. "With this approach no computer workstation has to be individually administered." A big advantage is that the schools in Kloten do not need fat client PCs in the classroom any more, but can use power-saving, robust and silent thin clients instead. "The schools in Kloten are even well equipped to use mobile devices with XenDesktop," adds Markus Oeschger, Deputy Managing Director of Steffen computer science. "To include smartphones or tablets you just have to install the free Citrix Receiver on the terminals."
Before the practical implementation of the desktop virtualization strategy the city council's education authority had to review the concept. "It was agreed that the approach was cost-effective, state of the art and met the users' needs," said Campagiorni.
Together with Steffen Computer Science, the basic XenDesktop environment was implemented in Kloten's data center and virtual desktops were introduced to the first school building - a primary school in Widen. At the beginning of the new year, students and teachers were the first to work with the new solution. "The transition went quite smoothly," reports Markus Oeschger. "All the school applications were running reliably in the virtual desktop environment from the outset. Because the server in the data center provides the required computing power, programs often even run faster than they did before on the mostly older PCs."
The switch also reduced support expenses: The virtual desktop environment is almost "indestructible" and safe from tampering, students can't make any permanent changes to the operating system or applications – and the desktop can be restored to its original state with a simple reboot.
The teachers at the primary school in Widen especially appreciated the flexibility of the new solution. For example, you can now access the virtual school desktop and all the applications from a home PC, mobile or laptop. Web access is protected by a multi-level security architecture: A Citrix NetScaler solution in the city's data center encrypts the communication between terminals and servers, and users are authenticated with a hardware token.
The other primary and secondary schools in Kloten will now be changed to virtual desktops step by step over the next few months. "The XenDesktop infrastructure is very scalable and can be expanded easily as your needs grow," explains the IT Manager. It is expected that, by the end of 2014, all schools will be able to reap the benefits of data center operation and the professional management of desktops and applications. In order to define responsibilities between the administration and the individual schools, service agreements will be drawn up and agreed.
"The first experiences with the new model are very convincing," says Rosario Campagiorni. "The Citrix technology is a cost-effective and professional means of managing the desktop infrastructure and relieves the everyday running of the schools enormously. The computer science curators spend less time worrying about content issues and more time promoting the integration of new technologies into the classroom."
Ultimately, the pupils in Kloten should benefit most from the new solution: "We can implement new requirements more quickly and at any time, allowing students to access to the most current software - no matter which terminals are being used," says the IT Head. "This ensures that in future, the schools keep up with technological changes."

Friday, November 10, 2017 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
The season of galas draws to a close as the year 2017 comes to an end. Two of the most recent fun and fund-raisers benefited the Baum School of Art and Civic Theatre of Allentown.
The Baum School "Fall Gala," held on several levels of the school, honored the Baum Family for its support of the school and celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Russell E. Baum Building, Fifth and Linden streets, Allentown.
Review: 'Boo 2'
Friday, November 3, 2017 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
There's a naive charm to "Tyler Perry's Boo 2! A Madea Halloween," especially when Tyler Perry's on-screen as Madea.
Perry, who wrote, directed, produced and stars in "Boo 2," not only puts on the dress, hair and makeup to play Mabel "Madea" Simmons, he also plays Brian Simmons, the put-upon husband, and Uncle Joe Simmons.
September house sales decrease 3.5 percent
Thursday, October 26, 2017 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Business Showcase
Sales of houses in the Lehigh Valley declined as the summer selling season ended.
Closed sales decreased 3.5 percent in September to 697 houses sold, compared to 722 houses sold in September 2016, according to the Greater Lehigh Valley Realtors (GLVR) monthly report.
For the year to date, closed sales increased 4.2 percent, to 6,322, compared to 6,065 for the year to date in 2016.
On a positive note, pending sales increased 12.5 percent in September to 739, compared to 657 in September 2016.
Review: 'Victoria'
Thursday, October 26, 2017 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
Director Stephen Frears is enamored of the themes of royalty, the British upper-class, minorities, and societal disruption.
"Victoria And Abdul" is based on a true story of the friendship between Queen Victoria and a man from India who became her confidante.
Review: 'Blade Runner'
Friday, October 20, 2017 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
It's even rainier in "Blade Runner 2049" than in "Blade Runner" (1982).
That's not the only difference between "2049," with the title referring to the year in which the movie's story takes place in Los Angeles, and the original, which takes place in 2019 in Los Angeles.
Review: 'American Made'
Friday, October 13, 2017 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
If even a portion of "American Made" is factual, then a reassessment of major portions of United States foreign and domestic policies might be in order.
"American Made," which stars Tom Cruise as Barry Seal, a TWA commercial airlines pilot, turned CIA reconnaissance pilot, turned cocaine-drugs-weapons and insurgents smuggler, is "Based on A True Story," according to the movie's opening credits.
However, a web site for "American Made" states the movie is "Based on a True Lie."

Civic at 90: Gala celebration, capital campaign for 2017-18 season
Friday, October 6, 2017 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
To celebrate the 90th season, "The Secret Garden" is back at Civic Theatre of Allentown as is Civic's celebrity capital campaign co-chair, star of television and screen, Christine Taylor, who, as a child, performed on Civic's stage.
"It's so fortuitous that it's our 90th season, but we're also closing and opening. It's a birthday, but a new birth. There'll be a grand re-opening," says Civic Theatre Artistic Director William Sanders.
Civic Theatre"s 90th Anniversary Celebration Gala is 7 - 10 p.m. Oct. 27 at The NB Center for American Automotive Heritage, Allentown.
Review: 'Kingsman'
Friday, October 6, 2017 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
"Kingsman: The Golden Circle" is one confusing, entertaining mess of a movie.
On the one hand, you have the charming British cast returning from the original, "Kingsman: The Secret Service" (2015): Taron Egerton (Gary "Eggsy" Unwin, aka Galahad, a holdover from the Brit Lad culture), Colin Firth (Harry Hart, aka the original Galahad, the suave spy and ever the gentleman), and Mark Strong (Merlin, a gizmo wizard).
LV median house prices reach near decade-high levels; closed sales up 2 percent near end of summer season
Friday, September 29, 2017 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Business Showcase
Sales of houses in the Lehigh Valley continue to increase as the peak summer sales season drew to a close.
And according to The Greater Lehigh Valley Realtors (GLVR), median home prices are being reported that haven't been seen in nearly a decade.
The median sales price in August was $205,000, a 2.8 percent increase from a year ago and $2,000 less than the $207,000 figure reached in July 2008. The decade high for median sales price is $215,000 in July 2007.
Movie Review: 'mother!'
Friday, September 29, 2017 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
Perhaps no movie in 2017 has been as controversial upon its release as "mother!" Yes, we'll honor the conceit of the noncapitalized title and exclamation point.
No, that's not what upset folks with director Darren Aronofsky's metaphorical take on motherhood, misogyny and the mass media.

Nearly every day I give critiques and suggestions on how a client can improve their web content or I give estimates on the cost of writing content for entirely new websites. In most cases, I find that the homepages are always lacking either in information or they're simply non-existent.
No Homepage Content at All
This issue is found on ecommerce sites most frequently. Their focus is on selling their products, but without some sort of introductory text to your business, you are missing out on communicating with your visitors, as well as keyword opportunities.
If you aren't going to include homepage text, at least make sure your site has a Meta description. Meta tags may not be as important as they once were, but without a meta description for your homepage, the search engines won't have a description to post with your link in the search results.
Tell Us What Your Business Is!
This goes back to the homepage as well. I can't count how many times I've been on a "consulting" site and had no idea what their actual business or service was. Who were they consulting with and why? If your visitors can't determine what your business is from your homepage, you're making it too hard. Even 100 words will go a long way in educating and enticing your visitors.
Don't Make Pages Longer Than They Need to Be
There's really nothing worse than going to a website and seeing a 1,000 word homepage that's northing more than an extended sales letter stuffed with keywords. Newsflash – nobody's going to read 1000 words on why they should buy toilets from you.
Again, this is something I commonly see at the bottom of ecommerce sites, but it's also common on a variety of others. There's really no point and the days of keyword stuffed pages are long gone. Unfortunately, a lot of people out there haven't got that memo yet and I still get requests to write these.
In most cases, a homepage can be kept simple and sweet. Don't overwhelm your reader, but do communicate with them. Tell them what you're about and what information they can find within your site. From there, make it easy for them to find that information through an easy to navigate website design. Focus on answering your visitor's questions before they ask them.

OK, maybe she is an instrument. Her voice is like that. Yah, born Dana Williams, grew up in D.C. and attended the prestigious Duke Ellington High School for the Performing Arts, but she's also a Triangle homegirl, by way of N.C. Central University and their illustrious music program. Which means that we're in the front row to witness her career stretch and unfold, like a modern dance intro.
Hear Me hits you off with an eclectic funk-soul-jazz melange. The flavors are somewhat subtle at first, but deepen, strengthen with each listen, as you steep yourself in YahZarah's steez ... as she has steeped herself in her culture. Yeah, much ado is made over her association with Badu (with whom she's toured as a backup singer). And you can detect an influence or two, particularly when her lyrics turn conversational. But YahZarah's style is all her own. Bassist and executive producer Chip Shearin, tight in his own right as evidenced by Hear Me's lush and varied production, is absolutely effusive in describing her voice on the liner notes. That type of build-up has you braced to hear some ol' theatrics: You know the runs, the over-sung showtime-at-the-Apollo "look at me, I can sang" type vibe typified by many of today's microwave divas. YahZarah is different though. You can hear the skills, but she's cool, restrained with her "instrument," knowing when to play it jazzy, soulful, torchy, even operatic. Her unique phrasing is all over the place, at turns deep and earthy, then high and airy, as she playfully hits notes from oblique angles. "Love is," a lazy summer cool-out ballad, is type sublime, the centerpiece of an impressive album. Shearin and Co. provide a fluid watercolor wash of sultry strings and muted trumpet that YahZarah splashes with vocal colors, warm and enveloping. The result evokes comparison to '70s Norman Connors/Phyllis Hyman collabs, or at the least, slept-on Tom Browne B-sides from the early '80s. Yah simmers and shimmers on "Natural," a be-bop tinged mid-tempo joint, while the smooth and infectious "Black Star" stays in heavy rotation in my mind even after the CD has stopped playing. The all-out party cut, "Friday," is hot to death--my 7-year-old son (who has a good ear) is always telling me to play Track 14 again. And again. For drum & bass heads, "Guillotine" is a departure from the acoustic ambience of some of the other tracks, and a nice change up, while "Feel Me," which she recorded in one take, is another burner. While some of the interludes on Hear Me seem a bit out of place, the only thing that I truly dislike is the sense of foreboding that I get when I hear something that's really good, and then listen to the bulk of what blows up in today's music industry. I guess I can cross my fingers and hope YahZarah sneaks in the back door behind Erykah, Jill Scott and India Arie.

Virtual Music Composer 3.0
Size:35.4 MB
Date Added:
Author: LvbssX
Category: MP3 & Audio > Music Creation
The use of Virtual Music Composer is based on listening to music. Program is designed to help you to make your own music: it does not require any prior knowledge of composing or programming. By providing a visual-based and easy-to-use interface it simplifies work without regard to the user's skill level. Just having a piano certainly does not make you into a pianist, as just having this software does not make you a composer. So, in order to take the most advantage of Virtual Music Composer, the playing of any musical instrument is not necessary but recommended or, at least, it is convenient. Virtual Music Composer does not replace the human factor: it serves as a source of inspiration for making music 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Commerce, Science and Technology Minister, Phillip Paulwell has said that the new Telecommunications Policy recently approved by Cabinet will seek to establish a single regulatory agency for the telecommunications sector and assist in achieving universal access across Jamaica.
The decision to have a single regulator, said Minister Paulwell, was thought best for the industry, as it was "unfair to have four agencies (Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR), Spectrum Management Authority, the Broadcasting Commission and the Fair Trading Commission) regulating the industry".
He noted that the establishment of a sole agency should take place by year-end and that currently, a place was being sought to house the new regulatory body.
Discussing the achievement of universal access, the Technology Minister observed that, "tremendous success" had been achieved in the area of voice telecommunication and that the focus in terms of universal service was now on data. "We want to ensure that all our people have access to the Internet regardless of where they live," Minister Paulwell assured.
He said that a facility would be put in place to ensure funding for the deployment of these services to areas considered to be uneconomical.
Deputy Director General of the OUR, Courtney Jackson pointed out that "no more than 10 per cent of the 750,000 households in Jamaica (or approximately 100,000 persons) have access to the Internet".
Mr. Jackson noted that the price of Internet access in Jamaica was very high when compared to other countries. He said that Cable and Wireless was the only operator that provided connection to the global Internet network or "Internet backbone" from Jamaica as it controlled the island's fibre optic network. This, Mr. Jackson said was a significant factor in the high price for Internet access as Cable and Wireless had "the freedom to set prices".
He observed that broadband facility, which allowed higher speed access to the Internet, was available at US$93.00 per month in Jamaica, compared to US$12.00 per month in Asia.
Mr. Jackson, mentioning that additional operators were needed to provide the service, said that GoTel and N5 provided Internet access through wireless technology after connection to the global Internet infrastructure was made possible with the final stage of liberalisation.
The Deputy Director General said that this fundamental infrastructure limitation was restricting Internet penetration in Jamaica and should be addressed, noting that the OUR was encouraging operators to invest in this area in order to satisfy the "critical and urgent social needs".
In the meantime however, Minister Paulwell, though lamenting the high price for broadband, is hopeful that this will soon be a reality observing that few cable operators are forming themselves into a conglomerate to provide Internet access through their cable network.
Additionally, a co-location facility or 'Telecoms Hotel' known as Jamaica Network Access Point (JNAP) will be officially launched shortly, allowing operators to share overheads among themselves and to provide greater convenience in interconnection of networks at lower cost.
The facility provides interconnection of fibre, voice lines and Internet bandwidth going to and from major carriers such as Cable and Wireless, Digicel and Centennial. It is designed to connect several carriers together to originate and terminate (provide a terminal for incoming calls) voice traffic to and from Jamaica.
This facility, Mr. Jackson noted was available in developed markets and was a first for Jamaica and the Caribbean.
Single Regulatory Agency For Telecoms Sector By Year-End
Commerce, Science and Technology Minister, Phillip Paulwell has said that the new Telecommunications Policy recently approved by Cabinet will seek to establish a single regulatory agency for the telecommunications sector and assist in achieving universal access across Jamaica.
